A disc-shaped object longer than the height of the Empire State Building emerged from the horizon of Ukraine‘s embattled Donetsk province last Friday, hovering eerily still a mile off the ground, a soldier has told DailyMail.com
That soldier, a drone operator, had cautiously guided his infrared quadcopter 500-feet for a reconnaissance mission, struggling against high winds, when he suddenly spotted the flat, 1,300-foot-long UFO, which stood motionless despite those winds.
In an interview from the warzone, the soldier, who is with the Ukrainian army’s 406th Battalion, said he and his fellow servicemen had ‘never seen things like this before.’
‘Initially, I thought that it was something new invented by the Russians,’ he added, ‘but then I understood… ‘No! It might be [a] UFO.”
The ‘craft’ was 36 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than any other object this 406th drone pilot says he has ever tracked in the warzone — ruling out atmospheric phenomena, balloons and known enemy aircraft, he claimed.
‘We were surprised, very surprised,’ the soldier, whose first name is Vadym, recalled via an interpreter.
But Vadym told DailyMail.com that this ‘surprise’ was not quite fear, because he and his fellow soldiers have had to learn to suppress those emotions amid their effort to defend Ukraine from a now two-year-long invasion by Russia.
‘We got scared on the 24th of February 2022,’ Vadym said. ‘After that, we aren’t scared of anything.’
The 406th’s drone pilot said he’d gotten his craft about ‘a few kilometers’ into its recon mission before spotting the UFO.
